I had no idea God was gonna use my pain to heal others.
I was too focused on myself. Then little things started to happen: I started to meet people who almost felt like they’d been sent to hear my story.
And it was just crazy enough consider it more than a coincidence.
Years after leaving seminary I still manage to meet the one person in a crowd who left something similar and our traded stories help us both on the journey.
Maybe providence is real. But I’m no expert.
So I learned what a railroad trestle was…
Y’all that thing was TALL. Theres no railing and a bunch of the railroad ties were broken, so when you look down it’s a solid 200 ft drop.
And incredible beauty on either side.
I walked to the middle and just took it all in while the bridge creaked underneath me…God is good.

I’ve been staring out the window of a van with a few of my best friends in Idaho this past week…
This is the farthest west I’ve been in the US and I’m simply speechless as we pass mountain after mountain. We played our first set last night, and we have two more to go.
Worship wirh your friends folks worship with your friends.
I feel like I’m inhaling beauty while we drive from city to city, spoiled by my creator and getting to worship Him when we stop driving.
I frankly feel like a little kid in the back seat of this van crying because I can’t take it all in. And I don’t think I will.
Thank ya for the sneaky photos!
I left Catholic seminary after 7 years, and after I moved to Nashville I wrote this song about it.
I’m so grateful for my seminary formation and for what God has done with that experience since I left.
I’m fluent in Spanish.
I pursue music now from discovering that love in seminary.
I can sit in quiet and simply exist.
This song however is about the lost boy who woke up one day and couldn’t voice what he wanted to be.
It hurts.
Got to play a round with two of my best friends this past week, and pulled an old one out of my back pocket.
It’s called Kaleidoscope (thank God for spell correct) and it’s one of the few songs I’ve written about falling in love.
Here’s a little sample while takes care of the reactions 😂
THANK YOU
This song is called Atlas, and it’s for any of you who are carrying more than you can handle.
You can set it down: you don’t have to carry it all on your own.

Maybe it isn’t about you.
Nothing quite reminds me that I’m insignificant, and that the things I stress over and pine over are trifles like when I get to ditch my phone and disappear into the woods.
Because then I remember that I’m everything to Someone.
And that burns the urgency to be significant that I feel knee deep in the hustle.
Nothing replaces your city worries like watching for rain after setting up camp.
Maybe it isn’t about you.
Maybe it’s about the One who thinks about you 24/7 and His green cathedral.
This song is for anyone out there trying to “hold it together”
Just be yourself. You don’t have to carry it all on your shoulders: people want you the way you are.
This song is called Atlas.
Bitterness isn’t a choice: it’s a process of healing that TAKES TIME.
Once you’ve forgiven someone you still have to deal with the bitterness left behind, but whats beautiful is that it’s possible to let it go.
Way possible.
This song is called Splinters.
POV you find yourself complaining about little things when Jesus went and died for you.
Sometimes it feels like we’re crying over splinters while others carry actual crosses.
This song is called Splinters.
